Up for sale is a highly collectible, authentic vintage 1976 Zippo windproof pocket lighter featuring the engraved "Serenity Prayer." This piece features the period-accurate 1970s italicized script logo alongside the three-slash (/// ///) date stamp on the bottom plate, verifying its 50-year history.
Condition Details:
* Cosmetic: Shows genuine vintage pocket character with minor surface scuffs, fine hairline scratches, and edge wear from handling over the decades. The front text engraving remains beautifully crisp and deeply legible. The reverse side is smooth, uniform, and completely unengraved with no personalized initials.
* Case & Frame: Full 360-degree views confirm the corners and sides are straight and clean, with no drop dents or heavy corner impact dings. Opening the case reveals clean inside walls with the natural brass aging typical of 1970s Zippos. The internal hinge welds are completely solid and secure.
* Mechanical: The native 5-barrel hinge keeps tight alignment, snapping closed with the legendary Zippo click. The flint wheel spins normally and has been tested to throw bright, strong sparks consistently when struck.
* Insert: Includes its original, period-correct vintage Zippo insert featuring the era-appropriate horizontal stamped warning text ("FOR BEST RESULTS USE ZIPPO FLINTS AND FLUID...").
Shipping Notice: Will be shipped completely dry of fuel/fluid to strictly adhere to mail transit safety guidelines. An incredible display piece for premium tobacco collectors or recovery history enthusiasts.
Securely packed and shipped with fast tracking. Please review all close-up photos to judge the cosmetic condition for yourself before purchasing. Thank you for looking!
